“Who does New Hampshire want to have its back when the next hare-brained, get-rich-quick, cockeyed, scenery-trashing, money-grubbing scheme threatens New Hampshire’s greatest legacy---it landscape? Well, I’ll want the reporters and editors at InDepthNH.org---the only news medium that staffed the critical Northern Pass hearings, from beginning to end. InDepthNH.org---good, solid, statewide news coverage, the kind you can depend on, the way things used to be and the way they should.”

  • Senate Revenue Estimate Higher Than the House’s Plan

    By GARRY RAYNO, InDepthNH.org CONCORD — The Senate Ways and Means Committee had a more optimistic outlook for the state’s economy than the House when it met Wednesday to finalize revenue estimates for the next two fiscal years. When the committee completed its work in about two hours, the Senate’s projected revenues would be $228.1 million more than the House’s, but $172.1 million less than Gov.

  • Ayotte: Lease for Hampton Rest Areas Provides Long-Term Control and Revenue To State

    By PAULA TRACY, InDepthNH.org CONCORD – Gov. Kelly Ayotte said she believes a lease option rather than a sale of the Hampton Interstate 95 rest areas and liquor stores is a better bet because the state can control a lot more about the messaging rather than selling it outright, and have a long-term source of income. Executive Councilor Janet Stevens, R-Rye, in whose district Hampton is located, said she and the governor are going to meet next week with Hampton officials who were hoping that a sale would mean $1 million a year in real estate tax revenue, where they get none right now.
